1 Product introduction
Total consistency transmitter
Measures total consistency, independent of varying content of filler
and fines, with a unique measuring method enables accurate
consistency measurement
Virtually insensitive to flow variations and temperature changes
for high accuracy and reproducibility
No moving parts and non-clogging probe design gives low
maintenance costs
Simple calibration and documentation provides easy start up andusage
Simple installation for low installation costs
Probe can be retracted without shutting down the process
1.1 General
The TCT-2301 is an in-line transmitter for measuring total consistency
of pulp suspensions in the range 0.01-3.5%.
Based on BTG's patented Peak Method (see section 1.3) of optical anal-ysis, the TCT-2301 is virtually insensitive to variations in filler and fines
content, making it particularly suitable for use with recycled and me-
chanical pulp suspensions.
The transmitter is mounted in-line, without any special bypass arrange-
ment, for optimized functioning of the control loop. The instrument's
unique probe, without electronic components, makes the transmitter in-
sensitive to variations in temperature and vibration. The probe is con-
nected to the wall-mounted electronics unit by an optical fiber.
An integrated fail-safe system means the probe can be installed and re-
tracted safely without shutting down the process, even in high pressure
applications.
The transmitter's non-clogging and self-cleaning features ensure trouble-
free and accurate operation with easy maintenance.

2 TCT-2301 Product introduction M2007/3enBTG 2004
The TCT-2301 employs modern microprocessor technology, including
fast data collection with a separate signal processor, digital data process-
ing with advanced signal analysis.
The TCT-2301 is served by the SPC-1000 hand-held terminal, which
works not only with the TCT-2301, but also with all instruments in the
BTG family of smart transmitters.
The SPC-1000 can be connected at any point on the 4-20 mA output
signal loop. Communication with a DCS is by means of a superimposeddigitized signal according to a standard Hart protocol. In addition, the
unit is prepared for fieldbus digital communication.
BTG has adopted the OPC communication standard, which enables any
OPC equipped system direct access to TCT-2301 transmitters.

1.3 Measuring principle
1.3.1 The Peak Method
The TCT-2301 employs the patented peak method for measuring total
consistency of pulp suspensions. This technology is based on the fact that
suspensions contain both large and small particles. Large particles are
typically fibers and small particles are fillers and fines.
Close study of a suspension sample shows that the high number of small
particles in the suspension remains relatively constant over time. On the
other hand, there are far fewer large particles and their number varies sig-
nificantly over time.The large particles form a relatively transparent network, within which
the small particles move freely. A narrow light beam directed through the
suspension is generally affected by both the large and small particles.
There is however an interval when only small particles affect the light
beam, and this is know as the "Peak" period.
During the other time periods, the light beam is affected by both the large
and small particles. Fig 2 and fig 3 illustrate this principle.
In fig 2, a light beam passes through the pulp flow (1). The transmitted
light is detected by a photo detector. The detector signal is amplified (5)
and then treated by the signal processor (6).

M2007/3en TCT-2301 Product introduction 7BTG 2004
Three signals are computed by the detector signal: The mean value, VDC,
the peak value, VP and the AC-component, VAC. Typical time graph
showing the detector signal is displayed in fig 3.
The total consistency is obtained by adding the further treated VP and the
VDC values.

2.2 - Product specific safety recommendations
14 TCT-2301 Safety recommendations M2007/3enBTG 2004
2.2 Product specific safety recommendations
These safety recommendations are based on a risk analysis carried out in
accordance with the requirements of the machinery and low voltage di-
rective in order to comply with European standards for CE marking.
2.2.1 General
The possibility of risk from a consistency transmitter in operation only
arises when covers have been removed during installation and servicing,
due to hazardous electrical voltage.
Read these safety recommendations before installing the transmitter.
Follow the recommendations when installing the transmitter, starting upand servicing. Use warning signs for safety information!
These safety recommendations apply to the transmitter fitted with an AC
powered electronics box. Mounting parts, such as the weld-in studs, are
dealt with in accordance with the pressure vessel standards of the respec-
tive countries.
! For good personal and functional safety: Use only parts which
have been manufactured or approved by BTG.
2.2.2 Selecting a transmitter model and assemblyparts
Pressurized parts must be suited to the current maximum pipe pressure in
relation to temperature. Select a material for the parts that are in contact
with the medium so that corrosion does not occur.
2.2.3 Installing mounting details
Welding and subsequent inspection should take place in accordance with
current standards and regulations.
2.2.4 Installing the transmitter
Construct a platform or use safe and approved ladders if the
transmitter is located high up. This platform will make it easier to fit
and start-up the transmitter and carry out service in the future.
The rubber quality of the transmitter seal (O-ring) should be selected
to suit the current medium. The O-ring supplied is suitable for this
application.
Screw the valve assembly firmly onto the weld-in stud.
Be sure that the pipe isempty before opening it!

2.2 - Product specific safety recommendations
M2007/3en TCT-2301 Safety recommendations 15BTG 2004
Install the probe into the valve assembly. Fit the two screws locking
the probe in place. Check that these screws are properly tightened, as
well as the four screws holding the valve together. See section 3.2.5:
Mounting the probe in the valve assembly for details.
When the probe has been installed, carry out test pressurization using
water in the pipeline. The correct test pressure depends on standards
and regulations in each country. In some lines for which inspection
is required, a pressure test must be carried out before the product can
be commissioned.
2.2.5 Installing the electronics box
A hazardous voltage is used to drive the electronics box. The electronics
box may only be connected by a qualified electrician in accordance with
instructions. The earth ground should be connected correctly and
checked.
It should be possible to switch off the voltage in the distribution centre,
for example. A clear warning, such as a sign, should let other people
know that work is in progress and the switch must not be touched.
Use only metallic cable fittings with shield connection for the
electronics box.
2.2.6 Starting up and servicing the transmitter
Read through the following points before starting up and servicing the
transmitter. Bear also in mind that the points mentioned above contain
important information for these operations.
Before removing the probe from the valve assembly, check carefully
that the valve is closed. Hot or corrosive liquid flowing out under
pressure may cause serious chemical burn injuries!
Take care when opening the cover of the electronics box with built-
in power supply unit. It contains live parts that may cause electric
shocks. Live parts are protected against normal contact provided that
connections are made correctly.
When the probe is exposed to dangerous basic or acidic corrosive
media, it should be removed from the pipeline regularly for
inspection. Replace any damaged seals. If the probes pressurized
parts have corroded, check that the material is correct for the
application. Leakage may cause personal injury or damage to
equipment due to corrosion or burning!
Check that the screws/nutholding the valve/probetogether are mounted andproperly tightened.
DANGER!High voltage inside theelectronics box.Connections may only becarried out by qualifiedpersonnel.
To prevent electrical shock connect the protectiveearth PE properly.

Important recommendations:
1. Do not install the probe where there is trapped air or where air may
be sucked into the process.
2. If there is risk of flocculation in the pulp suspension, install the probe
where the flow rates exceeds 1 m/s (3.3 ft/sec).
This applies particularly to long-fiber pulp suspensions.
3. Install the probe so that it is protected from direct mechanical dam-
age.
4. Protect the probe from heavy vibration such as cavitation or unbal-
anced pumps. One method is to install a rubber bellows in the line.

If the probe is installed in a horizontal pipe, always install it at the side
of the pipe rather than at the top or bottom to avoid problems with
trapped air or dirt. Remember the clearance requirements, so that the
probe can be mounted in the ball valve arrangement.
5. The ball valve assembly should be mounted at a 90 angle to the pipe
line.
6. The ball valve assembly should be mounted on the side of the pipe
line. A small angle downwards makes it possible for the pulp to evac-
uate when the probe is retracted and also makes the insertion of the
probe easier. See fig 10 below.

3.2.2 Probe clearance requirements
The installed length of the probe, inserted into the ball valve arrange-
ment, is approximately 470 mm (18.5 in) long. You will also need a min-imum distance of 300 mm (11.8 in) to remove the probe from the pulp
line. Leave sufficient room around the probe to perform this task.
The probe weighs approximately 3.3 kg (7.2 lbs).
! Remember to provide access room for an operator, as well as thefull depth of the probe assembly and the electronics box.
3.2.3 Sampling valve
The sampling valve should be installed close to the transmitter. This
helps to ensure that the laboratory sample is representative of the sample
measured by the transmitter.
Installing an appropriate BTG sampling valve, will ensure reliable re-
sults.
! Install the sampling valve up or downstream of the transmitter butnot closer than 0.5 m (1.5 ft) to the transmitter to avoid
disturbances.

3.3.3 Connecting the measuring probe to the
electronics box
The optical connection is on the lower right side of the electronics box.Remove the protective cover on the electronics box connector, and on the
optical connector on the probe. Note the position for the optical connec-
tor in fig 23. The connector fits only in one position. Make sure the O-
ring is mounted on the probe connector. Push the connector all the way
in. Try to turn the connector (this should not be possible) to verify that it
is in the end position. Secure the connection properly with the plastic nut.
Coil the extra optical fiber and secure it under the electronics box in order
to avoid the risk of mechanical damage.
! Make sure the optical connector from the probe is positioned
correctly and pushed all the way in before securing it with theplastic nut.
! The optical fiber must not be coiled with a radius smaller than50mm (2 in) Locate it so that is protected and not subject to risk of
mechanical damage.
The standard optical fiber is 10 m (33 ft). It is possible to use optical fiber
up to 40 m (131 ft) long. Contact your BTG sales engineer for more in-
formation regarding optional fiber lengths.
! Do not cut the optical fiber.

4.2.2 Selecting the correct mode
The TCT-2301 has preset calibration curves for different fiber types. Fi-
ber types are divided into two main groups, low-strength pulp (short fi-ber) and high-strength pulp (long fiber).
This setting is located under . See fig 34 on page 46.
Press the key to select the correct preset calibration curve de-
pending on the actual fiber type:
: This mode is for short-fiber pulps,
such as recycled and groundwood.
: This mode is for pulp types such as
kraft pulp, TMP, CTMP etc.
: This mode contains a linear curve
and is not normally used.
! Please contact BTG for further information on different pulp and
fiber types.

4.2.3 Adjustment of measuring gap angle.
It is important that the measuring gap faces the flow at the correct angle.
Follow these guidelines.
Start with the standard setting, 45 facing the flow.
If the signal from the transmitter appears to be unstable despite using the
angles above, make the following quick test to see if can be improved.
Remove the probe from the line, see section 3.2.5:Mounting the probe
in the valve assembly, and adjust the angle in 15 increments. (15, 30,
45, 60, 75). Install the probe and observe the signal from the transmit-
ter.
! Contact BTG for further technical information.
! Never go under a 15 or over a 75 angle to the measuring gap. This
could spoil the cleaning effect of the measuring gap and/or createa plugging effect.

4.3 Calibration
This section assumes that you have completed section 4.2, and studied
the operation of the hand-held terminal as described in section 4.8.
4.3.1 General remarks on calibration
The transmitter should be calibrated for the specific application after it
has been installed in the line and all connections have been made.
The measuring principle used by this transmitter is insensitive to differ-
ent wood species and normally one calibration can be used with different
pulp/stock qualities.
The amount of filler can vary in different pulp/stock qualities and this canaffect the output signal. This can be handled by using different calibra-
tions (Measuring range).
4.3.1.1 Criteria for calibration
1. The transmitter is installed and has been started up.
2. A clear water adjustment must have been made as per section 4.2:
Clear water adjustment.
3. The hand-held terminal must be connected to the electronics box and
switched on, and the transmitter data read into the terminal as persection 4.1: Starting the transmitter.
4. The correct mode must be selected as per section 4.2.2: Selecting the
correct mode.
5. The pulp must have representative consistency and flow values.
4.3.2 General remarks on sampling
Additional information can be found in Accurate Consistency a
hand-book in consistency measurement in pulp and paper processing,
available from BTG.
To ensure acceptable precision in laboratory samples, we recommend use
of BTG sampling valves.

Sampling procedure:
1. Install the sampling valve close to the transmitter. The valve should
be installed so there is no interference from pipe bends, pumps, etc.
Recommendations regarding turbulence damping zones are the same
as for the transmitter itself.
2. Take at least two, preferably three, laboratory samples. Calculate the
mean value; reject samples that deviate widely from the mean.
Take an adequate volume for sampling at least 500 ml (1/2 US
quart) for a reliable sample.
3. Make sure that samples for calibration and subsequent checking are
always taken in the same manner regardless of who does the sam-
pling. Similarly, the laboratory procedure must always be exactly
the same.
The design of, and compliance with, sampling routines is crucial in as-
suring uniform treatment of samples. Calibration and future precision of
measurement by the transmitter depend on this.
During calibration, the pulp flow past the Transmitter must be represen-
tative for the position in which it is installed.
To simplify and improve the regular follow-up routines, the BTG Smart
lab sampler - SLS-1000 is a useful aid.
4.3.3 Calibration procedure
Normal calibration is very simple, only one sample needs to be taken.
The functionality of the TCT-2301 means that a single point calibration
or even the preprogrammed curve is often fully adequate.
Since only one sample is taken, it is very important that it is correct.
Therefore, take out a large sample so that several consistency determina-
tions can be made at the lab, and an average value can be downloaded to
the transmitter.
!It is important to read data to the SPC each time it is connected. Itis also important to continuously send all changes.
4.3.3.1 Summary
1. Collect values using the SPC at the same time as pulp samples are
taken from the line.
2. Evaluate the sample at the lab.
3. Enter the lab value in the SPC.
4. Calculate calibration constants.
5. Send the calibration values to the transmitter.
